Fascinating fact:

Actor John Wesley Shipp, who played the original Barry Allen in the 1990s U.S. TV series The Flash, has been cast in a mystery role in the reboot of the DC Comics-inspired show of the same name. The former Dawson’s Creek actor joins previously announced cast members Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh and Glee star Grant Gustin, who will play the titular role of The Flash.
